Mastery Reading Selection
Before reading this article I was aware of the seriousness behind the discussion concerning ones major. Many college students tend to suffer because they are unsure of their path in life. They feel the need to be successful yet they strive for something far past their interest or on the other hand they lose themselves in their own wishes and dreams pertaining to their field of interest. This is most likely to occur when being under stress or pressure from ones social circle. Not only does the fear of being unsuccessful dawn on them but the thought of moving back into a parents home can and possibly could discourage ones motivation. It is extremely important to pick your major based upon your interests in life because no major is worth your time unless you are willing to invest in it. Thinking back to ones childhood, always remember that you can grow up to be whatever you want to be in life. Time is a vertue therefore constant investing into ones dreams and desires will play a big role in the end.

Regardless of this new outcome and or discovery, I will take into consideration that different forms of learning can be achieved in much grander forms that I had not been open to in the past.
